ST. LOUIS(AP) -- Rams returner Danny Amendola sat out practice due
to a concussion while guard Jacob Bell was cleared after tests
showed he had only a mild one.
Amendola rode a stationary bicycle during Tuesday's workout and
coach Steve Spagnuolo said the diminutive receiver was set to
undergo tests for concussion-related symptoms on Wednesday.
"He still has some symptoms, so they weren't going to take any
chances," Spagnuolo said.
Bell also had a concussion in the preseason that forced him to
miss a few weeks, but Spagnuolo anticipated that the lineman
would practice on Wednesday.
The 5-11, 186-pound Amendola was leveled by the Lions' Zach
Follett early in the fourth quarter Sunday and didn't return to
the Rams' 17-10 victory. He didn't remember leaving the field,
but said he'd "probably" be on the field for the Rams' final
practice Wednesday before players disperse for their off week.
Amendola is averaging 24 yards on kickoff returns and 8.5 yards
on punt returns, and has 15 receptions for 128 yards.
"The hit didn't hurt, but my mind wasn't working," Amendola
said. "I walked off, I think. Just got my head buzzed a little
bit."
"He cleared it within two days so that's a good thing,"
Spagnuolo said. "Usually if it takes a little bit longer, then
you get a concern."
Guard Richie Incognito, who missed the Lions game with a foot
injury, is scheduled to shed a walking boot on Monday.
